Do you raise mealworms or maggots?

[KFhunter]

I can't ever find them for fishing, gonna hafta raise em
Prolly mealworms 

Easy?

I looked at it a while ago. Decided I didn’t want the hassle. YouTube got tons of videos on it

Yeah, super easy.  Set a mole trap, catch a mole and then leave it in the tunnel for a week and you will have a pile of maggots.  Might be tough under snow, but during the summer it's not hard.

I don't know of any pet stores in your area.  But if you are in Spokane petco or pet smart have jumbo meal worms for the reptiles.

They are monsters.

Thanks, I might just do that.  Youtubes mealworms looks super easy to do

Good way to use up my old cornmeal and stuff

The 4 year old sister of one of my 4-H kids has a mealworm farm.....

I raise mealworms. It’s easy. Had them going for 4 years or so from a dozen or so to start. Feed them oats and apple cores or any other scrap that has good water content. I clean them once every few months when the dead beetles smell.

I’ve done those big “super worms” too. Mine died after a couple years, they need more water I think. Their lifecycle is much longer and they take more care but are basically the same. If you can’t find any I’d give you some mealies if you’re ever in Spokane.

Yep. Petsmart, Petco, awesome bait stores.

I tried back in the 80s to raise meal worms. I had a Thompson’s Chamleon at the time. They all ended up as Beatles 

Honestly it was not worth the effort.

I also switched to Power Bait Maggots (pink) for Kokanee. Much more productive!

I raised mealworms too for a couple years to feed to my chickens. The setup I had needed weekly care, and I wasn't getting to it that often, so they weren't producing much. But I'd be glad to share PMs about the setup I had, etc.

I think I'm going to go with the petco option 

I did a bunch of youtubing on it, they want to be 85 degrees, I need sifters and tubs, weekly maintenance, pupas, beetles...


Yuck, If I could fish more often (everyday) then ya

If I buy live petco worms, how long until they pupate?
